No. Platypuses do not sneak up on their prey. There is no stealth involved in how they hunt.

Platypuses eat small water animals such as aquatic insect larvae, fresh water shrimp, annelid worms, yabbies and crayfish. Platypuses catch their food in the water. They may make hundreds of dives in a single day. The bill of a platypus has sensitive electroreceptors which pick up tiny nerve and electrical impulses generated by crustaceans and other animals that inhabit the bottom of the creek or river. The platypus then uses its bill to shovel away the dirt, and find the food.
